GYRUS AVERY, OF ERIE, PENNSYLVANIA.

Speciiicationforming part of Letters Patent No. 119,443, dated October3, 1871.

To all whom it may concer-n:

Be it known that I, GYRUS AVERY, of the city and county of Erie andState of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved RevolvingRefrigerator and Water-Cooler; and I do hereby declare that-thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, referencebeing had to the annexed drawing and the let-ters of reference markedthereon, the same forming a part of this specication.

The object of my invention is to provide a combined revolvingrefrigerator and water-cooler for use in saloons, 821e., for keepingbottles of liquor cool and for providing` cool Water.

The accompanying drawing represents my invention in one figure, which isa vertical sectional view, and which represents my invention as follows,reference being had to the letters of reference marked thereon.

E is the revolving tank or refrigerator, G is its case or cover, and His the base, which is the cool-water tank. Thel revolving refrigeratoror tank is constructed. as follows: First is constructed the body of thetank E, on which fits the packed or iilled cover F, and around the sidesof which are the bottle-pockets A A A,

Ste., of which A and A are shown in section and the backs of the othersin perspective. These pockets are round so as to perfectly iit thebottles. They are in no way connected with the tank E, so the bottlesare not wet; but the cold ice-water of theV tank passes and remains onall sides of the pockets A A, Ste., as will be seen by reference to thepockets A and A', which are shown in section. There it will bediscovered that the pockets do not reach to the bottom of the tank, andthat, as before stated, the water in the tank surrounds the pockets. Atube, j, will be seento pass from the pockets through the bottom-ofthetank E. This is to allow the condensation or sweat which forms on thecold bottles to drip down into the chamber L, which is the space betweenthe tank E and-the base H. In the center of the tank E is a core, I,which is braced at the top by the cross-piece K. In this core is thestandard J, on which the revolving tank E, with its bottle-pockets, &c.,is pivoted. h is a discharge-tube. Gr is the case, which fits over therevolving tank, and in nowise interor it may be made of glass. Theobject of this u case is-.to retain the cold atmosphere around thebottles. It is designed to be used or not, as the person using maydesire. This constitutes a full V description of the revolvingrefrigerator.

The other part of my invention, or the watercooler- H, is constructed asfollows: As before stated, this is the base of my invention and isformed into a tank for the cold water, which passes off from the tank Ethrough the dischargepipe h. The Vsides D D and bottom D D are madedouble and lled or packed after the manner of water-coolers generally. Aremovable cover, B B, (also lined and packed,) is placed over this andjust beneath the tank E. This cover is removable so as to allow thelower or Water-chamber M to be cleaned. The cover B B is concave on thetop so the water from the tank above will iiow toward the center. Atthis point is located a filter, C, which has a perforated cover, d,through which the water runs, passing through the charcoal of the filterand through the perfoforated bottom cinto the chamber M, from which itis drawn by the cock a or overiiows through the waste-pipe f.

What I claim as my invention is as follows:

1. The combination of a revolving refrigerator with the base H, soconstructed as to form a water-cooler, as herein set forth. Y

v2. The construction of a revolving refrigerator with bottle-pockets, soconstructed that the wa ter shall pass on all sides of but not enter thesame, in the manner and for the purposes set forth.

3. The bottle-pockets A A A, &c., constructed as described, incombination with the dischargepipe j placed in the bottom of the same,as and for the purposes set forth.

4. The removable cover B B, with the centrally-located lter Cconstructed therein, combined with the base H, as herein described.

5. The combination of the case G with the revolving refrigerator, asherein set forth.
